What a record holds
A permit comes with its number, type, status, issue and final dates, valuation and address, as the city or county published it. Puller adds the parcel and its owner, a map point, census and political areas, and work tags such as solar, roofing, pool and new home. The contractor is matched to their Nevada State Contractors Board licence, with its status, trade, dollar limit and discipline. Where the agency publishes them, fee lines and inspections come with the permit too.
Who uses it
- Contractor verification, for marketplaces and contractor software checking a pro against the state licence register.

- Real estate, for investors and proptech pulling the permit history, owner and sales of an address.
- Telecom and utilities, for network and grid planners counting new homes and solar by area.
- Insurance and lending, for roof, HVAC and solar permit dates for homes they insure or finance.
How it compares
Puller reads each Nevada city and county's own permit records and links each permit it can to the state licence register and to its parcel. The comparison pages set Puller beside other permit data sources, field by field, with a date and a source for each fact.
